Anyone with cable notice the change in the Weather Channel? They used to tell you your local weather (called, local on the 8's). They would actually have your temperature and conditions at the bottom of the screen too.
Not anymore. The closest we can get is a snapshot of Boston - hate to tell them this, but our weather is not anything like that. Plus, there is nothing at the bottom of the screen. I believe this is the same as what satalite users have had, but it just isn't usefull. They do have a little caption that says more weather can be found on their website - look, if I wanted to be on the computer, I would be, I have the TV on when I am getting ready for work, and when I am doing dishes - not condusive to browsing their site.
If their not going to tell me the weather (or anticipated weather) for my area, they are useless. As such, it has gone from one of the most turned to channels in our household, to not being on our TV at all.
I guess they are too busy making up their special 1/2 hour shows of past weather events or what weather could look like in the future to bother with the actual present day, present location weather.
I went on their website to lodge a complaint, got it all filled out, then had to enter the "code" (like gotcha on blogs). there was no code, so I couldn't send it (I tried and got an error - and got kicked out to an intro page).
Bahh, guess they really don't want to know what I think.
